Abstract
The paper reports the approach followed in the SOILSAMP project, funded by the National Environmental Protection Agency (ANPA)of Italy. SOILSAMP is aimed at assessing uncertainties associated with soil sampling in agricultural, semi-natural, urban, and industrial environments. The uncertainty assessment is based on a bottom-up approach, according to the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). A designated agricultural area, which has been characterized in terms of elemental spatial distribution, will be used in future as a reference site for soil sampling intercomparison exercises.
